Reception
[edit]M. Suganth of The Times of India who gave 1.5 out of 5 stars after reviewing the film stated that "By the time we get to the final revelation on the identity of the killer, we hardly care."[7] Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express gave 1.5 out of 5 stars stating that But the biggest mystery is how a film like this lacking in entertainment was made by Ezhil. It makes one ask... Whodunit, actually!."[8] Maalai Malar Critic noted that " Director Ezhil has made the film less interesting with a thriller storyline. Fans have been disappointed as he has directed this film away from his previous films. The film lacks the sizzle and dynamism that a thriller film should have."[9]
